| Turkish said: Yeah, this movie filled the "death star blowing up so easily plothole" nicely. I echo others about the character development, characters were amazing but they needed to be more fleshed out. 1st act needed to develop the characters of Ip Man and Last king of Scotland more. Inept stormtroopers? This is the first time they've shown they can actually hit targets and be deadly lol. I also liked the OST

Well, I have to agrre that this was one of the best retcon they could possible have.
HOWEVER most of every other plot points that shoud have tied Jyn´s father work with the rebelion are very confusing.
1- They need to go to another planet, "the Central Imperial Achives", which alone could be a target for the Rebelion for its strategic value or the Senate for investigation.
2- The name of the project is her nickname but her father didn´t know she would be involved in the mission. I assume he expected Saw Guerrera to lead the atack and he would know the file name.
3- Q:Why the Rebelion would want Erso dead as a primary object? A: To create a false tension and a character arch in the movie.
4- How can the rebelion deploy a fleet so fast without any preparation? How fast can one come and go in this galaxy?
5- The fleet was in contact with the rebels base. Why couldn´t they sent the plans imidiatly?
Now the bad retcons
1 - The Rebelion lost the whole fleet in the battle and this is forgotten. Are Bothans more important than hundreds of humans and Mon Calamaris?
2- Leia was in the battle and there is no way she could have fulled Vader she was in a "diplomatic mission".
3- Why would Tarkin trust the Death Star safety? It is not his pet project any more and he knew the plans were compromised.
Things missing
1- The reason Darth Vader is under Tarkin.
2- The Senate unrest and disband.
3- Reasons for punishing Alderan that severe.
